“On top of everything that has happened over the past 18 months, these exceptional women on this list have pushed forward with innovative business plans, marketing initiatives and other comprehensive route to market initiatives to support our partners and customers, helping them through the uncertainty brought on by the global pandemic. Cisco celebrates these exceptional women for their leadership, dedication and commitment to the channel and our partners,” said Batka.

“This year’s WIICTA has generated a volume and calibre of nominees that have set new standards in the award’s history. This is an encouraging sign of a positive trend that gender diversity is high on the corporate agenda of more and more businesses in ASEAN.

 

“This is not just to tick a box or meet a quota, but evidently, to bring in alternative viewpoints for problem-solving and different leadership styles for competitive advantage, in turn delivering better returns.”

 

Reflective of a diverse technology network – and a thriving channel community – over 25 partner companies are in the spotlight, in addition to more than 30 vendors and four distributors.

 

Within this standout group of finalists, female leaders are located across the entire region, spanning Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.

 

All career stages are in the spotlight from graduate-level entrants to well-established CEOs, in addition to inspiring entrepreneurs, creative thinkers and technical experts, as well as talent rising through the ranks and consistently high-performing individuals. This is also supported by both individual and company champions of D&I initiatives.

 

Collectively, WIICTA in 2021 stands tall as the leading forum for setting the industry benchmark for female achievement across Southeast Asia.

 

Shaped by the feedback of more than 50 leading female technology executives, WIICTA – now in its 10th year of running – will honour the channel across eight categories, spanning Innovation, Technical, Entrepreneur, Graduate, Rising Star, Shining Star, Achievement and D&I Champion (Company and Individual) awards.

 

The winners will now be selected by an executive panel of more than 45 industry judges – acknowledging creativity, innovation and excellence – before being announced at a virtual celebration event on Thursday, 5 August.

LIFE+: Molecule Water’s Potential In Early Covid-19 Disease Management

Malaysia-based researchers present findings at global scientific webinar

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach – 28 July 2021 – At a recent global webinar “The Use Of Biophysical Therapies To Treat Covid-19 Patients“, our Malaysian representatives presented their findings of how molecule water (aka molecular structured water) was used as part of therapy for Covid-19 patients in many countries such as Italy, China, Brunei, Singapore and even Malaysia. Quoting from the report, “Patients suffering from Covid-19 pneumonia showed significant improvement with reduction in overall symptoms and accelerated recovery thanks to demonstrated anti-inflammatory effect”. 

 

Robert (left) and Roger (right) speaking during the global webinar held from 16 – 18 July 2021.

The event was organized by Global Scientific Guild (www.globalscientificguild.com), a prestigious organization created to promote information sharing and collaboration between scientists, researchers, professors, doctors and industrialists worldwide. Bringing together world-class renowned personalities to discuss the latest developments and innovations on one common platform, the only speakers from Malaysia at this exclusive event were Robert J. Pascoe, an expert in Structured Water and Frequency Technology and Roger Heng, President of IDC Global Holdings Malaysia – creator of LIFE+ Molecule Water.  

 

The Life+ Molecule Water team has made significant discoveries through R&D and collaboration with well-known international scientists including Dr Prof. Carlos Orozco, an accomplished oncologist in quantum physics research and author of the bestselling book ‘Key to Coherence’. Using innovative proprietary technology known as Quantum Physics Magnetic Field (QPMF), LIFE+ water molecules are naturally restructured into a hexagonal, honeycomb shaped lattice that enables ionized OH- electrons to be highly charged and attached. “This altered structure was tested to have smaller molecules, negative ionisation and higher viscosity, facilitating higher oxygen saturation (SpO2) as well as vital nutrient and better hydration absorption in human bodies,” says Roger.

 

The net result is a promising opportunity to help those suffering from Covid-19, which is notorious for decreasing blood oxygen saturation levels (SpO2) in patients. While medical oxygen therapies using ventilators and intubation are common and essential in hospitals, LIFE+ Molecule Water’s effect of increasing SpO2 is a natural and non-intrusive way of managing Covid-19 early.

 

Further tests have confirmed the unique properties of LIFE+ Molecule Water. According to LIFE+ Research and Operation Advisor, Dr. Aiwina Heng Soong Yin, test results from Guangzhou Hua Nam Agriculture University show that the water molecules are smaller than normal drinking water. Whereas at Northern Nevada Medical Center (USA), Ramaiah Hospital (India) and Metropolis Laboratory (USA), reports indicate that Human Red Blood corpuscles (RBCs) cells are electromagnetically charged and become buoyant after 20 minutes of consumption compared to regular Reverse Osmosis water intake.

 

“We are continuing our collaboration with international research institutes to further study the product’s positive effects in Covid-19 recoveries,” says Roger. To date, the trials have yielded very positive results in Covid-19 and post-vaccination recovery duration, as well as in symptom relief without the use of medical drugs. The LIFE+ team also expect to see significant improvement in the human body’s performance in detoxification, metabolism, pH balance and regulation of cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar levels.

 

LIFE+ Malaysia’s production plant is nearly complete and will be launched in September 2021. Based on their 3S philosophy (Safe, Smart & Sophisticated), it will be the first science-led, contactless and fully automated plant producing the healthiest structured drinking water with quantum mechanics technology.

Hugill & Ip extends its support to the Outreach Legal Talks Initiative

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 28 July 2021 – OUTLET (Outreach Legal Talks Initiative) is an innovative project that provides free talks delivered by law students directly to underprivileged communities in Hong Kong. The pro-bono project was originally organised by a group of law students from the University of Hong Kong. PILnet has also strongly backed the project.

PILnet serves as the Secretariat of the Hong Kong Pro Bono Roundtable, which was created in 2014 to connect, activate, and coordinate pro bono lawyers in Hong Kong to maximize the impact of their efforts, such as mobilizing legal services, organizing joint interventions, and building a pro bono community.

This year Hugill & Ip Solicitors is collaborating with OUTLET to organise a series of Estate Planning legal talks – held as webinars and live seminars.

OUTLET aims to enhance social justice and equality through empowering the needy and helping to prevent legal problems. Under the supervision of legal professionals, law students design their own talks and deliver their insights to groups in community centres. Throughout June and July 2021, five different meetings have been held at HKSKH Western District Elderly Community Centre, The Salvation Army Chuk Yuen Centre for Senior Citizens and HKYWCA Ellen Li Elderly Community Centre. Each session was complemented by a Q&A session where solicitors from Hugill & Ip answered questions and interacted with the audience.

Students and solicitors introduced key legal issues to the elderly, specifically on matters related to areas of Estate & Probate law: including reversed mortgage, Wills and Probate, Advanced Medical Directives, guardianship, co-ownership, Enduring Power of Attorney, and annuity.

 

Alfred Ip – Partner at Hugill & Ip – commented: “It’s been amazing to help this project and contribute to the growth of many talented HKU students in terms of knowledge of Estate Planning matters, as well as supporting the local community with better awareness about the necessary steps to take in protecting themselves and their loved ones.”

 

Jacqueline Cheng – Associate at Hugill & Ip’s Private Client team – added: “I’ve been extremely excited to be part of this pro bono initiative and have relished the opportunity to answer questions, face-to-face and online, about real-life situations that many individuals face in their daily lives.”

 

Marco Raccuia – Head of Finance & Operations – noted: “This outstanding initiative not only fits Hugill & Ip’s commitment to social responsibility, but also adds tremendous value by spreading legal knowledge. Local elderly communities and their carers have been provided (and will continue to be provided) information on tools and protections available to achieve proper Estate Planning”.

 

Outreach Legal Talks main components are:

  • The need to bring information from online platforms directly to affected communities, and explain legal issues in plain language;
  • “Train the Trainer” effect: lawyers have limited time for pro bono legal talks, OUTLET instead invites them to train law students who are in the course of their legal studies and are more available to deliver talks;
  • Interactive Social workers educate students about community needs. Discussion and interaction with the audience during the outreach talks have a further empowerment effect for OUTLET participants.

Hugill & Ip will offer internships in Summer 2022 to a group of OUTLET students from The University of Hong Kong who have participated in this year Estate Planning legal talks. The firm will also continue to collaborate with the organization on future pro bono activities that benefit the community – in particular the elderly and their carers.

 

About OUTLET

OUTLET (Outreach Legal Talks Initiative) is an innovative project that provides free talks delivered by law students directly to underprivileged communities in Hong Kong. They have developed educational materials and have held several talks. The team was also invited to share their experience at PILnet Global Forum in 2018, as well as to showcase their projects at PILnet Virtual Global Forum in 2020. They are currently conducting their 4th cycle of talks.
